गये लखन जहँ जानकिनाथू । भे मन मुदित पाइ प्रिय साधू ॥
बन्दि राम-सिय-चरन सुहाये । चले सङ्ग नप-मन्दिर आये ॥
gaye lakhana jaham̐ jānakināthū | bhe mana mudita pāi priya sādhū ||
bandi rāma-siya-carana suhāye | cale saṅga napa-mandira āye ||

What happens in this chapter
The three go before the king
Lakshmana comes to where Janaki's lord is, glad to have won his dear wish. He bows at the feet of Rama and Sita and goes with them to the king's palace. The men and women of the city say to one another that fate has spoiled a well-made matter. Their bodies and minds ache and their faces are dark, like bees robbed of their honey. They wring their hands, beat their heads and grieve, like birds without wings. A great crowd gathers at the royal court. The minister raises the king, seats him, and gently tells him Rama has come. Seeing his two sons with Sita, the king is overwhelmed; again and again, in love, he clasps them to his breast.
कहहिँ परसपर पुर-नर नारी । भलि बनाइ बिधि बात बिगारी ॥
तन मन-दुख बदन-मलीने । बिकल मनहुँ माखी मधु छीने ॥
kahahim̐ parasapara pura-nara nārī | bhali banāi bidhi bāta bigārī ||
tana mana-dukha badana-malīne | bikala manahum̐ mākhī madhu chīne ||
कर मीजहिँ सिर धुनि पछिताहीँ । जनु बिनु पङ्ख बिहँग अकुलाहीँ ॥
भइ बड़ि भीर भूप-दरबारा । बरनि न जाइ बिषाद अपारा ॥
kara mījahim̐ sira dhuni pachitāhīm̐ | janu binu paṅkha biham̐ga akulāhīm̐ ||
bhai bar̤i bhīra bhūpa-darabārā | barani na jāi biṣāda apārā ||
सचिवँ उठाइ राउ बैठारे । कहि प्रिय बचन राम पगु धारे ॥
सिय समेत दोउ तनय निहारी । ब्याकुल भयउ भूमिपति भारी ॥
sacivam̐ uṭhāi rāu baiṭhāre | kahi priya bacana rāma pagu dhāre ||
siya sameta dou tanaya nihārī | byākula bhayau bhūmipati bhārī ||
सीय सहित सुत सुभग दोउ, देखि देखि अकुलाइ ।
बारहिं बार सनेह बस, राउ लेइ उर लाइ ॥
sīya sahita suta subhaga dou, dekhi dekhi akulāi |
bārahiṃ bāra saneha basa, rāu lei ura lāi ||
